The
Lightning-Scarred Planet Mars
Symbols of an
Alien Sky DVD Series Episode 2

A video documentary that could change everything you thought you knew
about ancient, pre-historical times and how much ancient mythology we
have carried into modern times and religious thinking.

In this second episode of Symbols of an Alien Sky, David
Talbott takes the viewer on an odyssey across the surface of Mars.
Exploring feature after feature of the planet, he finds that only
electric arcs could produce the observed patterns. The high resolution
images reveal massive channels and gouges, great mounds, and crater
chains, none finding an explanation in traditional geology, but all
matching the scars from electric discharge experiments in the
laboratory.

In Episode One, Talbott showed electrical formations in the ancient sky,
when a gathering of
planets moved close to the Earth. Though the present episode was
designed to stand alone, for viewers of the first episode, the
implications will come as no surprise. All lines of evidence converge on
the story of a planet formerly immersed in electrical activity—activity
that left unmistakable patterns on the planet’s surface.

Today no body outside the Earth has been more fully surveyed than Mars.
It’s surface features thus provide the best test of a new perspective on
planetary history.
(Approximately 85 minutes.)

The brochure inside each DVD case is specially designed to introduce
both the Electric Universe and ancient planetary catastrophism models to
those who are unacquainted with this thinking and these models. The DVD,
with its brochure, makes an excellent gift to those that have
reservations as to the prevailing cosmology and stories of ancient
times.

Of all the forces we know, there is none stronger than a paradigm.” Robert

The Lightning Scarred Planet Mars

What this video is about

There are essentially three stories explaining present conditions on earth:

Story #1:
Most of us have been taught by academia and science that the solar
system has been stable for millions of years.
Long-term stability is a background belief that we take for granted.
We are bewildered to consider that there has been a major rearrangement
of planets just a few thousand years ago, just before the dawn of the
historical age. The ideas of gradualism and uniformitarianism are
packaged within this cosmological paradigm of stability. The sciences of geology, paleontology, astronomy,
and evolutionism have developed mutually consistent narratives that
rely upon vast stretches of time to unfold into the world
we see today. Indeed, “time” is often the major agency to
“explain” what otherwise is inexplicable.

Because of
the extensive evidence for catastrophic mechanisms, primarily in geology
and paleontology, scientists and scholars
have HAD to develop a variety of catastrophic scenarios. These
usually involve comets and asteroids.
But these are not truly global in scale and none
propose planetary agencies or suggest a rearrangement of the solar
system.

Many scientists,
if asked to consider the wide-ranging and extensive evidence for
planetary catastrophism, would claim that no matter how much evidence is
marshaled such extensive energy and orbital exchanges are scientifically
impossible.
Accepting that gravity is the major or only force structuring and
controlling the orbital dynamics of the solar system planets, such a
statement would undoubtedly be true.

This video shows that
the evidence for the catastrophes is not limited to earth.

Story #2: On
the other hand,
less than two centuries ago people were taught god-driven
miraculous accounts
of
catastrophes delivered from the sky, such as the great catastrophe
known as the “Biblical Flood.”
These stories were usually taught as being literal instead of
spiritually
stylized
narratives, and the events
were hardly ever
attributed to any natural
mechanism,
especially not to planetary agencies.
They were generally couched in a short chronology based upon a
literal account of creation in Genesis.

Most scientists are certain this is false and without
merit. Science now has a long history of finding
natural explanations for things previously considered to be caused directly by
the hand of god.

This video shows that
the catastrophes were not limited to earth.

Story #3: The
third story is about extensive changes in the solar system and the havoc
visited upon planetary surfaces, including the earth and its ecology. The
idea of planetary catastrophism was known by ancient peoples,
and they were understandably obsessed with it.

No one has done more to reintroduce planetary catastrophism into
the consciousness of modern man than Immanuel Velikovsky. Even though he
stood on the shoulders of men like
Ignatius Donnelly, Velikovsky
was a pioneer
in the science of comparative mythology,
correlating themes of myths and legends from around the globe together
with ancient art, rituals, and geologic formations.
He formulated a stunning and coherent paradigm of our catastrophic
past. His book, Worlds
in Collision, published in
1950, set the western scientific world on its ear and engendered a
vicious and stifling reaction from academia.

Along with
his series of books revising ancient chronology,
in his book Earth in Upheaval Velikovsky introduced
powerful new mechanisms for geological formation. He also introduced
electromagnetism
as a major factor in the orbital dynamics and interactions of the solar
system planets. Meanwhile, the space exploration of the USA unleashed a
torrent of surprises for astrophysics and a plethora of evidence for
catastrophism on other planets. Modern academia pretends that Velikovsky’s
work has been discredited and invalidated, and his voice has been
silenced in the halls of learning. But as to his invalidation, nothing
could be further from the truth.

Enter the
Electric Universe paradigm. This is not a new but an old cosmology that
has now been significantly revitalized
by advances in plasma knowledge, significant evidence from the
space program, and greatly expanded knowledge of ancient times and
mythologies. The EU cosmology allows the orbital and energy changes
to take place without violating scientific principles.

Ancient
Ttestimony, comparative mythology, and “sacred” writings
all attest Mars to be a major player in the “wars of the gods”.
Geological evidence on earth for ancient planetary interactions
includes
miles-deep sedimentary material; electrical scarring in the form of craters, rilles and canyons,
the polar dumps of permafrost muck in the arctic and a rather pure ice
dump over Antarctica; and vast dumps of reddish material in Australia, Madagascar,
southern Africa, and the United States.

Why this video is so important

In contrast to the other episodes in this series that address
ancient symbolism and mythology, this video focuses on the hard, visible
evidence for the catastrophic reconstruction of ancient times. The
evidence for interplanetary EDM scarring on Mars is explicit, extensive,
and unequivocal. This is the smoking gun! There must be
a planetary source for the massive discharges necessary to ravage
the surface of planet Mars. Therefore, this stunning evidence of massive
geophysical electrical scarring on our neighbor planet cuts through the
apparent uncertainty of mythological interpretation, the welter of
theories and confusion, and makes consideration of planetary
catastrophism imperative.

I just received and watched my DVD Symbols of an Alien Sky Episode Two -
The Lightning-Scarred Planet Mars, and I'd like to say
WOW!!!

This is a MUST SEE not only for those who are following the development
of EU, but it should also be shown to everyone who has 90 minutes up
their sleeve. If ANYONE can watch it right through and still deny there
may be some validity to electrical scarring of planets, they have their
head buried deep in dogma. This is surely a groundbreaking presentation
and should get as much viewing as people can give it. Grab a couple of
copies, one to keep and one to loan to friends. It's that good.

Comparative mythologist David Talbott has devoted much of his life to
identifying the "archetypes" or common mythic themes of cultures around
the world. His research has been the primary catalyst behind the "Saturn
theory." Founder and publisher of the ten-issue Pensee magazine
series "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered," he is the author of The
Saturn Myth (Doubleday, 1980) and the founder of AEON: A Journal
of Myth and Science. He is the director of Thunderbolts.info and
co-author (with Wallace Thornhill) of Thunderbolts of the Gods
and The Electric Universe.

The Lightning Scarred Planet Mars
is the ideal DVD to introduce the concepts of the Electric
Universe and the reconstruction of ancient times. The video
documents the undeniable electrical scarring so prominent
and widespread on the relatively un-weathered surface of our
neighbor planet. Thanks to the modern space exploration
programs, this is a "see for yourself" paradigm changer.

We are extending ourselves so that
you may scatter some seed crystals out there. Surely you have friends, children,
grandchildren, nieces and nephews that would enjoy and
benefit from this video. This season, why not give an
inexpensive gift, one that is educational and enlightening?
